Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

Intermittently while driving there was vibration in the rear end of the vehicle. Tires were rotated 4 times, but the vibration still occurred. Also, at 5,000 miles, cooling fan bearing/hub squeaked because of moisture build up. The fan belt was replaced. Squeaking noise recurred at 10,000 miles. Dealership lubricated the fan belts. But, the squeaking noise recurred at 35,0000. The fan belt needed to be replaced again.
